https://www.twitch.tv/tsm_reps
TSM Reps fills the role as the perfect flex and support player in Apex Legends. Possibly one of the most underrated pros, Reps can clutch, flank, and provides a valuable source of information during the frenetic pace of competitive Apex.
Early in the competitive meta, Reps played Wattson, with ImperialHal on Wraith, and Albralelie on Pathfinder.
‘Once the initial meta disintegrated with the nerfing of Wattson, Reps showed his true talent for being a flex player. We’ve seen him dominate lobbies as Gibraltar, Bloodhound, Revenant, and even Caustic! He’s a true all around gamer and serves as an anchor for the TSM squad.
Reps doesn’t leave anything to chance when it comes to his performance, including his equipment.
Let’s take a look at Reps’ gear selection that ensures he ready for any encounter:
MONITOR
Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor Model AW2518Hf
In order to get maximum frames and minimal input delay, ImperalHal opts for AlienWare’s 25″ HD 240hs gaming monitor.
Even if you don’t have the latest graphics card, you should be able to pump decent frames at 1920x1080p.
The Alienware 25Hf shines as the portal into your FPS adventures with a gorgeous panel and outstanding mechanical design.
You can get one for a reasonable price. Do it, it will change your game!
PC
Lenovo Legion Desktop
Lenovo committed to Apex Legends big time by becoming their title sponsor. If you’ve ever watched the Apex Legends Online Global Series, you’ve certainly seen many ads for their Legion line of gaming desktops and laptops.
The legion 7i desktop model represents their eports tier offering from 2019. From Lenovo, you can expect a quality build, solid components, reasonable pricing, and good customer support. Lenovo mass produces pro-quality esports capable machines that can compete with much more expensive boutique gaming PCs.
GPU
NVIDIA RTX 3080 Founder’s Edition
TSM Reps jumped on the Ampere train and snagged an RTX 3080 Founder’s Edition soon after launch. Sadly, these cards are no longer available, but you can still get an RTX 3080 from an OEM manufacturer such as MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, EVGA, Sapphire, and more. Pictured left are some of the options available today. These cards have better cooling than the Founders Edition, along with more overclocking options, allowing you to squeeze ever last frame out of the GPU. Whichever RTX 3080 GPU you select, you can expect over 200fps when paired with most modern processors. Once you get above 200fps, your win rate will come down to skill as you’re no longer hampered by input delay.
Peripherals – Mouse
Logitech G Pro X Superlight
TSM Reps is known for sick flicks with the Wingman and EVA 8 shotgun in Apex Legends. Lightness and quickness are the key selling points of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight. If you’re a flick aimer this mouse will fit your playstyle perfectly. If you’re wanting to improve your flicks, a few dozen hours in Kovaacs with the Logitech G Pro X Superlight and you’ll be hitting Youtube-worthy shots in no time!
Peripherals – Keyboard
Logitech G Pro Mechanical
To match his mouse selection, Reps relies on his Logitech G Pro Mechanical keyboard to gain the upper hand on his adversaries. His choice is no doubt influenced by Logitech’s partnership with TSM, but this keyboard remains a solid choice for any aspiring esports pro.
Gaming Chair
Herman Miller Embody
In order to rise to the top of any esport, every pro spends hundreds of hours each year seated at their computer. Herman Miller’s reputation for making the best office chairs led many gamers to adopt them as gaming chairs. While expensive, these chairs allow pros to sit for extended periods of time at their computer without fatigue. Herman Miller collaborated with Logitech to create the Embody gaming chair which promotes better posture and better game performance due to the multiple adjustments available. This allows ImperialHal to stay focused during extended tournaments.
<Authors note: Having just purchased one of these, I must admit, it’s really sweet. If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up. The Herman Miller Embody Gaming Chair arrived in a huge box, right to my door, fully assembled. It took me less than five minutes to extricate it from the packaging and set it up for gaming.. I mean, for work! Also, if you’re worried about being slightly over the ‘warrantied weight’ I can confirm it is handling an extra 20lbs no problem. Your butt and back will thank you. Consider it an investment. If you spend lots of time at your computer or desk, you’ll notice increased energy and focus immediately. It’s that good.>
